Accessibility Testing in Holon, Israel, Done by Hand
IS 5568 audits against WCAG 2.0 AA, with the evidence an Israeli claim cannot argue with.
The short answer for Holon
Holon is one of the eighteen Israeli cities past 100,000 people, and its municipality runs one of the busier public websites in the Tel Aviv district. That site answers to Regulation 35 like any other. So does yours. IS 5568 adopts WCAG 2.0 AA, and Regulation 35 has required accessible websites since October 2017, with existing sites given until October 2020. Both dates are behind us. This is not a deadline to plan around.
The part that does the enforcing is the remedy. Statutory damages reach ₪50,000 and a claim does not have to show anybody was harmed, only that the site fails. That clause is why Israeli accessibility claims move faster than most people expect, and it applies in Holon exactly as it applies anywhere else in the country.
So here is what we do about it. We work your Holon site against all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules by hand, then a professional blind screen-reader user runs your real journeys while we record where they stop. WCAG 2.2 covers everything 2.0 asks for and a good deal more, so the report answers IS 5568 and leaves you margin. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it.

Inside an audit for a site in Holon
Start with the honest part. The audit is the same in Holon as it is anywhere, because WCAG does not change at a border. What changes is which law is watching and what it costs to fail, and the section above settles that.
The work itself runs in three passes. A machine finds the failures a machine can prove. A human works every one of the 55 A and AA rules by hand. Then a professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, the way your customers would. Every finding arrives with its screenshot and the fix that closes it, drawn from our free library of 432 guides.
None of the reference sits behind a form, either. Every number below counts pages you can go and read right now, free, whether you ever buy an audit or not.

The honest limit
And an audit is evidence, not a legal opinion. We tell you what fails, who it stops, and what closes it. Whether that satisfies a regulator or a court in Holon is a question for your lawyer, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Straight answers for Holon
My site is in Holon. Does that change what you test?
No. WCAG is the same standard everywhere, so the testing is identical wherever you are. What changes is which law is watching and what failing it costs, and that is what the law section on this page settles.
What law am I actually answering to in Holon?
Israel IS 5568 is the one that reach Holon first, and each has its own page here covering what it asks for, who it lands on, and how it gets enforced. Sell into more than one market and more than one of them can reach you at the same time.
Should I be publishing an accessibility statement here?
At least one of the laws that reaches Holon names an accessibility statement, so plan on publishing one. Our free generator writes it from what the audit found, so the page says what actually works today rather than what you hope works.
What am I paying, and what turnaround do I get?
A Rapid Audit is $499 for 10 pages, with the report in 5 business days. A Standard Audit is $1,499 for 25 pages in 10 business days. Once your team has fixed things, the re-audit is half price within 3 months.
Who does the human half of the testing?
Yes, on every audit. A professional blind screen-reader user opens your real journeys and tries to finish them, and we write down where they stop. That is the pass no scanner can run.
